Welcome to the Chair of Nutritional Physiology

The Chair of Nutritional Physiology studies the signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms through which food influences our health and longevity. We focus particularly on the nutrient-dependent regulation of the aging process and its associated morbidities (e.g., type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, or cancer). Additionally, we seek out components in food that act aging-preventive and hence could be promoted as food supplements. (photo ©Biorender )
